i added a note to the main ideas page -- the long-term goal of embedding
lua into the mysql command-line client is so that we can re-implement
all of the other mysql command-line clients (mysqldump is a good
example) on top of that, as well as moving some (or most) of the
command-line clients functionality into lua code.

at the end of the day, this new mysql command-line client may indeed
look more like the official lua interpreter than the existing
command-line client.
